Feeling a little tense
My stomach is in knots right now. Last night I found out that Pete will be laid off today. Right now he is meeting with one of the Bosses from his company to find out his fate. This sucks. The past 5 and a half years have been nothing but instability, not due to anything Pete has done it has just turned out this way. This is the 4th job Pete has had in the past 5 and a half years. One company went under, 2 companies have now closed down the Arizona office and laid off Pete and one company Pete left for another better job. Before all of this Pete had the same job for 6 years. We never worried about any of this. It just sucks for all of us but mostly Pete. I have faith that everything will be fine but the unknown is sooo scary! I am just wiped out right now. I feel so bad for Pete. I know he is feeling awful right now. He has 1 job offer right now with a huge pay cut and less benefits and another possible job that he is really wanting to get. I hope it works out for him on the one he really wants. Money isn't as important anymore as stability is for our family and Pete's happiness. We just need to have something stable. The one thing that stinks is the market is so bad so Survey Crews are getting laid off everywhere which means a lot of people are going for the same position as he is. The one thing I hope he has in his favor is his reputation and his knowledge and experience. He is a very valuable employee but that does no good if the work isn't there for people to need him. I guess we will just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best! That is all we can do.
